Bill > H2943

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to expand employment benefits for specific employees of the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The bill adds several job classifications to the list of employees eligible for enhanced benefits, including Human Services Coordinators (at different levels A/B, I, C, II, D, III), Residential Supervisors (also at different levels), and other DDS positions that provide direct care, custody, and supervision to individuals with developmental disabilities. To qualify for these benefits, employees must have been working in these capacities for 10 years or more. This legislative change appears aimed at recognizing and supporting long-term employees who work in challenging roles providing critical services to individuals with developmental disabilities, by potentially offering them additional employment benefits or protections under Massachusetts law.
